(asylum) post-reception, follow-up accommodation
Explanation:
Unclear from the context whether referring to aslyum-seekers.

Anyway, Both lodging vs. accommodation and (Unterbringung) follow-up housing could work with any indefinite article e.g. a lodging ob pluralis/zed to any lodgings.

It might useful to spell out with post-reception centre/ center etc. what exactly the post-initial 'digs', even if it makes the answer 'too wordy and unwieldy' for the usual critics.

Explanation:

Was ist eine Folgeunterkunft?

Die meisten Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner einer Wohnunterkunft sind Geflüchtete, die in einer Erstaufnahme gelebt haben. Sie haben es besonders schwer, auf dem freien Markt eine Wohnung zu bekommen. Da sie nach der Erstaufnahme fast immer in einer Wohnunterkunft leben, spricht man auch von Folgeunterkunft.
https://www.foerdernundwohnen.de/unterkuenfte/wohnunterkuenf...

Camps, dormitories, schools and disused factories will hopefully only be used for a limited period to accommodate the initial massive flows of migrants. Subsequent permanent housing solutions must be conceived to avoid ‘permanent temporality' situations that many past migrants have and still do experience.
https://www.ifhp.org/sites/default/files/staff/IFHP Housing ...

However, a local authority which signs up to the programme agrees to provide accommodation initially and then assist in finding permanent housing, so entitlement to housing and homelessness help may only be an issue for people if they move or become homeless.

Reception centres, called initial accommodation, each accommodate around 200 people – fewer in Glasgow and Northern Ireland. These centres are the usual first accommodation for any asylum seeker who asks for support and is not immediately detained, apart from unaccompanied children.
The most common form of accommodation after the initial period in the initial accommodation centres is in privately owned flats and houses, managed by the companies contracted to the Home Office, or by their sub-contractors.

Additionally, participants reported that asylum-seekers tend to stay too long at the Reception Centre because they cannot afford to live independently in private rented accommodation.

neutral  Ramey Rieger (X): Good morning Aida! The refugees I work with (and others) have been moved several times. The system is very bureaucratic and nebulous.

  -> Good morning, Ramey! I've only quoted what some websites in the UK and in other countries say but of course I understand that they can move several times.

neutral  philgoddard: Why permanent?

  -> Apparently, that is the aim in some parts of the UK.

Example sentence(s):
  • Although Section 53 of the Asylum Act provides that asylum seekers “should, as a rule, be housed in collective accommodation” following the initial reception period, the above figures show that policies vary considerably between the Federal States.
